Veterans Study Smarter, Not Harder for Free with StudyEdge

Returning to school can be stressful. If it’s the first time back in the classroom, even the most battle-tested Vet may feel nervous. Many will take their experiences from the military and pursue difficult degrees with challenging courses. Help is available.

Study Edge provides concise study guides, online explanation videos, and tutors for an array of subjects and classes. If you’re looking for great intel on that tough engineering or physics course or maybe a refresher of your course in actual English, not the stream of acronyms we might be used to, Study Edge could be just the resource you’re looking for.

Study Edge announces a Free Semester to all Veterans.

“All of us at StudyEdge are thrilled to give Veterans across the country a free semester as a token of our appreciation for their tremendous sacrifice for this country. We are forever grateful for the dedication of these brave men and women and want to do our part in recognizing their commitment. As the son of two Navy Veterans, I am very proud that we are able to offer these services completely free to the men and women who so bravely protected this great country,” said Ethan Fieldman, Founder and President.

Study Edge provides:

A supplemental online resource… for when you didn’t quite understand the lecture, even though you were definitely paying attention. Veterans may also download study guides specific to their course, watch online video explanations, and answer practice questions to check their understanding.

A tutoring service… for those that prefer a more individualized approach with the attention that comes from a private tutor–but without the high price of one to one in-person services. Veteran students have access to Concept Videos for their specific courses, facilitated by their Study Experts, that employ the most effective practices of instruction and that deliver content in a way that’s simple and easy for anyone to understand–no matter how many years removed from college.

A convenient, easy-to-access study tool… for Vets with busy lives and barely any time to spare. StudyEdge content is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students can access StudyEdge resources on-the-go, wherever they are, and at any time of the day or night via their web and mobile app, making it possible to incorporate even a few minutes of study time into any busy schedule.

Anna Slack, the Acting Therapeutic Supported Employment Services (TSES) Program Manager at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center, says, “One of the many challenges for Veterans returning to school is often they have become accustomed to learning through hands-on methods. Veterans may struggle with coursework and assignments presented through text books and lectures. Study aids and tutoring might help Veterans absorb complex material, by providing structured and regimented techniques.”

“By using Study Edge, I was able to maintain the competitive GPA required for the admission into the University of Florida’s Mechanical Engineering Program. The thing that makes Study Edge so great is the way they have everything broken down and categorized. Their simplicity and strategic approach surpass any other program or tutoring service.” Colby Ross | Sergeant, 3rd Ranger Battalion US Army (Ret.)

Steve Clipp joined VA in 2017 with the White House/VA Hotline and is currently on detail as a communications specialist with the Veteran Experience Office. Steve, a Navy Veteran, served as an electronics technician in Fighter Squadron 31 (VF 31-F/14s) on-board the USS Abraham Lincoln. Using the GI Bill, he graduated from Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications.

Pineda (Army retiree):
I came back to school after 37 years old and graduated with a bachelor in social work this May 2019. I will start graduate school in two weeks but I feel afraid because I am very slow with programs like Panapto or Zoom. My classes are online only and I have to present classes and videos. I really need a tutor who helps me to be digital. I am 63 years old and dream to finish my academics goals.

Hi, I have a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, but could never find an internship. I would like to get into the VA hospital for Internship and then to treat veterans. I am retired Navy. I am married to a LCDR with 9 years left before he retires, so I am trying to find licensure that will move with me, and I heart the Federal Government will do that. Do you have a good point of contact that might be able to lead me in the right direction. Thank you so much. Theresa Halstead

I would be willing to volunteer for the Edge program. I am a retired University professor with an earned PhD in organization and management. I have had “returning students over 30” , bright new students with no prior academic opportunity aged 30 and older, and typical students in their teens and twenties. I have taught “on ground” and “on line” students in the US and classes of on line students attending The University of Liverpool. I have taught Graduate and Undergraduate students.
I can teach Economics (both macro and micro), Operations Management, Marketing, Finance, and Strategy. I developed strong personal connections with both men and women students, active and lazy. I am a Navy vet (1961 to 1965) posted to the Pacific Theater.
I think this program might be a good way for me to help some of our returning, confused, “fearful” or antiquarian Vets.
Sincerely,
Doward G. Douwsma, PhD and LT. US Naval Reserve.

Are retired veterans family allowed to use the program? My husband retired in 2002. I wanted to return to University, but couldn’t afford it without help and could use GI Bill because I wasn’t the active duty member. I was with my husband his entire career and I can’t get an education, doesn’t seem fair.

Like several other veterans who had the Montgomery GI Bill my benefits were never used and have expired. I appreciate all of our service men and women, but find it terribly unfair that the post 9/11 GI Bill gives soooo much and now it doesn’t expire! It’s not fair that those of us who served before 9/11 have lost our benefits and are treated like throw sways. Our service counts both before and after 9/11. We are just as worthy of our benefits even if we served before 9/11. Our service matters no matter when we served. I feel that pre 9/11 vets have been discriminated against. Our service matters. We deserve our benefits like everyone else who served our nation honorably.

I,m just an OLD DOG, but I still like to learn. I,m not interested in getting any credits, just would like to learn more to keep my mind busy. TV is boring and I still use a flip phone. Are there any none credit courses I can take at my liesure. HM-1 / SSGT L.A. MEADE 6019.
